Phenotypic resistance testing in oilseed rape genotypes against clubroot disease
Project
Project code: JKI-A-08-1249
Contract period: 01.11.2016
- 30.11.2019
Purpose of research: Applied research
Clubroot disease is a major threat to crops belonging to the Brassicaceae. It is controlled most effectively by the use of resistant cultivars. Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent, shows a wide variation for pathogenicity, which can be displayed by using differential host sets. German field isolates from P. brassicae display great variation and show a tendency to overcome different resistance sources from either B. rapa or B. oleracea. In this study, the effect of rape species, host genotype, and clubroot disease will be analysed by artificial inoculating of different rape-plant genotypes of different resistance levels with different virulent and highly virulent isolates of P. Brassicae.
